Built for cleaning businesses

Why cleaning businesses use Operator to schedule

Most scheduling software starts once the job is booked. Operator starts at the first message and gets it booked.

Quotes from the home itself

Bedrooms, bathrooms, the kind of clean, pets. Operator prices the job from your own rates as the customer answers, so nobody waits for a callback to hear a number.

Gets the address every time

For cleaning, Operator will not hold a time until it has the service address, so every job on your calendar has somewhere to go.

Books into your real calendar

Times come from your hours and your calendar, including events already on it, so a customer can only pick a time you actually have.

A deposit locks the job

The customer pays a deposit you set, straight to your own Stripe account. Tire-kickers drop off, and a no-show costs them, not you.

Answers your phone too

Operator picks up when you are on a job, asks about the home and texts the caller a link with their price and your openings.

Every customer remembered

Customers are saved with their home details and history, and a returning-client discount can apply itself when they book again.

Why it books more

What changes when Operator schedules your cleans

A price in the first minute

Cleaning customers want a number before they want anything else, and a business that makes them wait for a callback loses them to the one that did not. Operator asks about the home as the customer types, prices the clean from your own rates, and shows them the times you have open. The price is yours: your rate for a deep clean, what a bathroom adds, what pets add.

Booked, addressed and paid

By the time a clean lands on your calendar, Operator has the service address, the details of the home and a deposit paid to your own Stripe account. There is nothing left to chase, and a customer who has paid a deposit is a customer who shows up to let you in.

Nobody goes to voicemail

When you are three houses into a Tuesday, Operator answers the phone. It asks the same questions the booking link does and texts the caller a link to see their price and pick a time. The call is in your inbox with a summary.

You pay for what it answers

There is no per-message fee and no booking fee. Each plan includes monthly credits, and a minute of answered call is 25 credits, where one credit is one cent. If the credits ever run out, calls ring your own phone the way they did before. The line never goes dead.

Questions from cleaning businesses

Can it quote a clean before I see the home?

Yes, for the services you price that way. Operator asks about bedrooms, bathrooms, the kind of clean and anything else your prices depend on, and shows a price built from your own rates. For jobs you would rather see first, it can book a walkthrough instead.

How does a deposit cut no-shows?

You choose the deposit per service, as a percentage or a flat amount, or none at all. It is paid by card when they book and settles to your own Stripe account, so a customer who books has already put money down.

Can I put it on my website and Instagram?

Yes. You get a booking link to put in your Instagram bio, Google profile and texts, and a chat button you can add to your own website with one snippet. Every booking lands in the same inbox.

Which questions does it ask?

Operator comes with a cleaning question set. It asks the ones that change your price or the job, based on the prices you set, and you can add questions of your own in your own words. Anything that does not change the price is not asked.

Does it work in Canada?

Yes. Operator works for cleaning businesses in Canada and the United States, in your own currency.

How much does it cost?

Operator is free for 14 days with no card to start. Plans start at $49 a month on Starter, which covers up to about 200 answered minutes. There is no booking fee on any plan.
